The Gipper Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I am diverging from the usual pattern here today, by asking a series of questions rather than a single question with multiple answers. These all involve the Browns 2019 season: 1. What opponent did the Browns score the most points against ? 2. What opponent did the Browns score the least points against? 3. What opponent scored the least points against the Browns? 4. What opponent scored the most points against the Browns? 5. Who was the leading rusher for the Browns? 6. Who was the leading receiver (yards, catches, TDs all the same)? 7. Who is the ONLY player besides Baker Mayfield to throw a pass completion for the Browns? 8.

The Gipper Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question. This one is going to be very hard. I am again going to refer to the Pro Football Reference Production Average statistic. According that metric....w 9 players had THE best/most productive seasons in history with an annual score of 24 or more? (It only goes back to like 1960...so don't worry about any years before that) Name those 9 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunz41 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Maybe I am confused (which is easy to do) or not even understanding the question. Is it total or one per position? Because Manning broke all of Tom's records that year in DEN, Thomas just set record for receptions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I must not understand the question. So I am going to tap out at this point Per the PFR CA metric.....9 players in history achieved a 24 or higher score in a single season. Peyton Manning did not have a season wherein he attained that score. Tom Brady did in 2007. LaDanian Tomlinson did it in 2006. You named OJ who did it in 1975; and Lamar Jackson just last year. Now...if the confusion is about "how did PFR come up with these scores and how was Manning left off" I will admit that I am clueless how to answer that. I am just going on the numbers. And you will find that when I give the answers that their are some obscure names on there and you will scratch your head saying: "how can this person have been considered to have had one of the greatest seasons of all time". And that will certainly be a fair enough observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
